Yeah, I like blackbox too. I've not seen anything odd with the focus model. I use it to do a lot of data entry (all kinds of forms and input) with links, lynx, konqueror, and occasionally netscape4. One of the people here uses StarOffice and Kword on blackbox and I haven't heard any complaints. What program is the textbox in? New windows don't automatically get the focus, but I like that when I turn on java and javascript and go surfing ... > also, aside from xsetroot, is there any way i can get a jpeg or bmp into the > root window? i've tried xv, but it won't compile on my system... I've been trying to figure out this one myself. I was able to make a cool "style" with a gradient backround, but couldn't get a pic in the background. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
